06 1.6 turbo boosting - autumnboy
With a 1.6Hdi 110hp, if the turbo pressure was boosted by altering the actuator push rod. Would the ECU system see the extra boost and increase the fueling, increasing the power.

As you could do on the mechanical pumps and turbos of such as the 306 Pugs and ZX Citroens.

Curious as the question was asked by a friend.

06 1.6 Turbo Boosting - Screwloose

Completely different system; you'd be in limp mode with an overboost code inside 100 yards.

The turbo is ECU monitored; don't even think of messing with it. Compared to a 306; this is as different as a Dakota to Concorde.
